Starting and driving

NOTE:
. If the engine is difficult to start, de-

press the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor and hold it. Push the
ignition switch with the brake pedal
depressed to start cranking the engine.
After 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by
pushing the ignition switch to the OFF
position, and then release the accel-
erator pedal. Then perform steps 1 to 5
to start the engine. If the engine starts,
but fails to run, repeat this procedure.

. Starting and stopping the engine over a

short period of time may make the
vehicle more difficult to start. If this
occurs, wait for more than 3 minutes,
and then push the ignition switch again
to start the engine.

. To maintain high performance over a

long period of time, the engine speed is
limited to 5,000 rpm when the engine is
revved with the shift lever in the

position, and to 4,000 rpm when the

engine oil or coolant temperature is
low or higher than normal.

. If the ignition switch is pushed before

the shift lever is moved to the

position, the ignition switch will not

change to the OFF position. If this
occurs, the SHIFT

warning display

appears on the vehicle information
display. When stopping the engine, be
sure to move the shift lever to the

position and then push the ignition
switch. Failure to do so may result in
discharge of the battery. (

“P” warning” page 2-42)

. If the shift lever was in the

↔

position when the engine was stopped,
then be sure to move the shift lever to
the

position before starting the

engine the next time. If the engine is
started with the shift lever in the

position, then it may not be possible to
drive the vehicle even when the shift
lever is moved to the

↔

position. If this occurs, the SHIFT

warning appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display. (

ing” page 2-42)

CAUTION

If the engine was stopped soon when
the engine is hot, the cooling fan may
operate for approximately 2 minutes
after the engine was stopped to cool

the components in the engine compart-
ment. When the cooling fan is operat-
ing, be sure that hands or other items
do not get caught in it.
